Tree

[Amy Earl]

Here's a handsome tree I noticed while at Otter Creek. It was well-laden with little round fruit/seed balls that were an orange color. @Douglas Sherman can you identify it? I played with the sliders for colors on the B&W panel in Lightroom CC, I think this may be a newer feature? I found I could push the orange/yellow to get the seed balls to brighten up, which seemed to make this photo more that much more interesting.

The B&W does do an interesting number tweaked this way. I like the full view of the tree in the color version but the little spheres in the B&W are quite unique.

B&W trumps the color in this one. Nice processing and crop.

This is super cool Amy!!! I love #1, the B&W really sets it off well.

Photoshop has has that ability with sliders of each color when converting B&W’s for 4 or 5 years now I think? I don’t know about LR since I don’t use it, but I would guess since Photoshop has has it for a while that so has LR?

It is a very powerful feature huh?

This is a tough ID because I can't see the fruit close-up. But the shape of the fruit and the bark suggest to me that it is a Sycamore Tree.

Good job Amy, I like both versions.
